Friday C O C K T A I L report and other useless stuff. Its Friday let's have fun.

Sask Wheat actually said they are looking to Cereals Canada for a response....thats phucking laughable ...look who is on the board of Cereals Canada...


We are not even represented by our local saskatchewan checkoff group...

Anyone with half a brain could write a rebuttal to the nonsense in the media....



It has to come from those that are paid through checkoffs to do their job and dispute what was written...


I also expect conservative MPs to step up...

Sask pulse had a guy phoning around doing a survey about their performance.

Wow, the questions were all slated to make them look good.

Yes, they are doing lots for industry and processors but when I said what about root disease etc. no questions on that. I guess a seed tax will save us all from that with our own money. I asked but what are they doing for the actual producer. Sales are nice and new processors are great but when they pay the exact same or less for the product are farmers real farmers gaining. Hey, lets have a meeting to discuss and charge a perdiem.

The most useless organization that does nothing and takes money that they don't have to give back when farmers want to vote with their wallet.

Sickening.

Sask pulse using checkoff money to hire Insightrix to do a performance review on their incompetence....who wrote the questions?


Phoned a wannabe sask pulse board member during the election....didnt even have a clue about mandatory sales reporting.....

In the next few days might phone a board member and ask why they are wasting money and why they don't make it easier for farmers to put forward ideas...

3 people to sign nomination papers.....10 farmers to put forward a resolution that they don't act on...

Just wanna say Saskfarmer, farmers are gaining from many nearby processors. The competition and transparency, not to mention the short haul is giving farmers what they aren’t getting in the cereals industry. You want competition-you got it in the special crops industry. Just see what you have when all the little guys are bought out. Just Saying.

I would like to deal with some of the processors but not interested in financing them....for even a week...

When I buy chemical...the input dealers have requested the money from my FCC before I pierce a jug...and I spray across the road from where I get the chemical...farmers are expected to wait up to 15 business days or longer for payment...

There is where farm groups should be putting some of their efforts.

My bil is a homeless 100 lb overweight diebetic and refuses to move never mind work, he chose to sleep in the streets rather than my home, smartest man you can find and a 100 times more useless, why are we feeding him.

I feel your pain, I have a SIL about the same, although not homeless. Has 2 degrees, knows everything, hasnt worked a day in 25 yrs I've known her but gladly takes her government check every month.

Has 2 degrees, knows everything but common sense, hasnt worked a day in 25 yrs I've known her but gladly takes her government check every month. Reality is the other 3 siblings aren't much better, my wife must have been a friendly mail man child!

I guess very one around us that buys peas did a deep discount off the combine knowing full well that India was going to buy and China. Now it’s 9 to 9.50.

Real transparency.
